Crop walking olive grove style at dad's. Good level of flowering, hoping for matched harvest potential. Little sediment deposition following tough weather conditions in past months. Pruning and sheep to come.

OTD, 2 years ago, I was getting bioturbation boxes (w/ & w/out soil invertebrates) ready for the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science & Curiosity. Such fun, and the kids were fab!

Linking to my previous post, this is one of my favourite photos- nematodes in nictation- a stage of development when some nematodes raise up and attach themselves to a host (phoresy) to travel to other locations. Very cool to photograph. #nematode #macro #soil

Is this the year I clear the backlog. Nope. Phew, that's sorted. Well, I'd need to stop to clear it. But, one MS submitted and one 2nd round MS reviews nearly done. Good progress if I may say so myself. 🙃

New to this platform. Testing whether to migrate from Twitter, maintain both accounts, or step away from social media. I'll start with following Tweeps. And with figuring this site. Likely a slow process.

Wishing you all pit happiness into 2024!
